Description Dennis Schridde 2010-12-23 09:26:30 UTC

sys-apps/openrc's sysctl init script as seen in URL has "keyword -openvz", which disables the sysctl service on OpenVZ containers. This is not necessary, as OpenVZ supports setting values in the container which are different from the host.

In my case this leaves the default for net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding to 1 (with no standard way to fix it), which is unlikely to be useful in most containers.

Reproducible: Always
